uniforms or none...

I think all schools, even public schools, should have a uniform dress code which is strictly (not selectively) enforced. For instance, shirts with collars in solid colors, no t-shirt or tank tops or spaghetti strap shirts, pants that do not hang below the top of the shoe, probably khaki or navy blue or black pants, skirts that are no shorter than 2 inches above the knee, etc. Doesn't have to be official school uniforms, like with the school name on it or anything, but children (even up to and including high school) need to learn to dress decently and not be a distraction to the learning of the students around them.

None. I would never put my kids in a school with uniforms. To me, uniforms are very communistic... This idea that everyone should be identical because those in control are to afraid of diversity disgusts me! Personal expression is a blessing not a curse and should be a simply accepted part of life, not something we try to squash while the kids are young so they don't branch out and think for themselves as adults...
